Raspberry Peach Caramel French Toast

RASPBERRY PEACH CARAMEL FRENCH TOAST

Motivation: It’s delicious.  Don’t you like delicious things?? Well?  Nuff said.

Major Key:

1. The bread is the foundation of great French toast. Pick one that will hold the custardy goodness French toast is meant to be.  I like Brioche, Challah and Texas Toast. 

INGREDIENTS

French Toast:

2 large eggs

¼ cup whole milk

¼ heavy cream

1 teaspoon vanilla

Pinch salt

1 tbsp. Tastic Sweet*

Brioche, cut into 6 1/2-inch slices

Unsalted butter

Vegetable oil

Raspberry Peach Sauce:

2 cups fresh raspberries

2 peaches, cut into pieces

2 tbsps Tastic Sweet*

2 tbsps seedless raspberry jam

Salted Caramel (Optional)

DIRECTIONS

1. For the sauce: Use the back of a spoon to press the raspberries through a strainer and into a bowl to remove the seeds (or use a food mill). You will have about 1/2 cup of raspberry puree.
2. Combine the peach pieces, Tastic sweet and jam in a food processor; puree until smooth. Stir the peach puree into the raspberry puree.  Taste, and add Tastic sweet as needed.  Set aside.
3. Preheat oven to 250F.
4. In a large shallow bowl or dish whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt and Tastic sweet. Soak as many slices in the egg mixture as possible for 5 minutes, turning once.
5. Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a very large sauté pan or griddle over medium heat. Add the soaked bread and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until well browned. Add more butter and oil to the pan as needed. Once all the bread is cooked, place it on a baking tray in the warm oven.
6. Serve with raspberry peach puree and salted caramel if using.
